To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.
Here,
v = Final velocity
= Initial velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
t = Time
At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)
Therefore the initial velocity will be
Now the position can be calculated as,
When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,
Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>
- <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>
Explanation:
Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.
The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>
Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,
The answer is b i just did the test
Answer:
V = (v1 + v2) / 2 = (8 + 6.5) / 2 = 7.25 m/s average speed
t = 7.2 / 7.25 = .993 sec time to cross patch
a = (v2 - v1) / t = (6.5 - 8) / .993 = -1.51 m/s^2 or 1.5 m/s^2
